The recent dining scene at Kitchen 251 offers a stark contrast in culinary experiences.

Everything was excellent. Our server did an awesome job helping our party of 8 with menu/special of the day selections. Great views from inside restaurant. The food was hot and served quickly.

Everything was excellent. Our server did an awesome job helping our party of 8 with menu/special of the day selections. Great views from inside restaurant. The food was hot and served quickly. It would be nice to have some type of shades to filter the sun when it comes below the roofline. Some in our party were unable to sit comfortably in their seat because the sun was shining directly into their eyes. I had the special of the day, shrimp creole with blackened Mahi. It was excellent, the wife had fried shrimp, which were also very good . The shrimp tacos and blackened Mahi tacos were also very good according to those who had them. Definitely will return.

This was my first time at this restaurant, and I was very impressed. We came to have dinner and hear our friend Kevan Wilson sing. The relaxed setting and overall atmosphere was perfect with a gorgeous view of the harbor. We got the Caprese Salad, Zucchini Fries, and the best Shrimp Po' Boy that I've had in a long time. The service was also excellent. We will definitely be back!

This restaurant serves incredibly delicious food, and we have been loving their shrimp basket lately. The view of the marina and marshes is fantastic. The staff is friendly and usually very efficient. Also, their hamburger is top-notch.

This was out first visit from a friend’s recommendation. We live locally. We loved the outdoor deck and the service was great. The only issue I had was the prices. They advertise specials which is what I ordered (no price listed). I ordered the shrimp tacos. The food was great but I was really shocked with the bill. $24.95 for (2) shrimp tacos with a small (styrofoam cup) of red beans and rice. Wife got the salad with added scallops $25.95. (2) draft Coors were $6ea. Just ask about prices before ordering.

I don't typically write reviews, but I have to give credit where it's due - 251kitchen deserves all the praise. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. The food was served quickly and the staff was friendly and polite. A 5-star experience. Highly recommend!
